Reviews & Ratings for Stack-On Full Length In Wall Shotgun Steel Cabinet — 9 reviews — Page 1

A very nice unit for 99 dollars
Was not damaged on delivery
It is not a safe, so someone could get in with tools, however I bought it to keep children from getting things inside. A safe would cost you 3 times more at least

I did not expect this wall cabinet to be as secure as a gun safe so I'm not complaining about its strength (I think a person with a crow bar could rip it open quickly). My intent for buying it was to store a couple of long guns that could quickly be accessed, while still keeping curious kids away. This product meets my needs(an AR and a tactical shotgun fit easily but slings are a pain to stuff in). I was able to easily install it by myself in an upstairs closet. Installation note: my wall stud finder did not locate a PVC vent pipe running between the two 2X4 studs - I found this out after I started cutting the sheetrock. Luckily my first cut was horizontal and not vertical, as I found the pipe quicker and now have only a small cut in the sheetrock to patch. Also, I recommend using a hand saw for sheetrock as I was able to quickly feel when the blade hit the PVC pipe. One negative is the packaging used by Stack-On to ship the wall cabinet. They use some light foam around the cabinet inside a cardboard box, however it provides very little protection for the mounting flange corners. Mine arrived with one corner bent and about a 1/4" by 3/8" piece of paint chipped off the corner. I used an adjustable wrench to bend the corner back to near its original position. Since I installed it in a closet I will use it as is. Once installed the door/lock functioned fine. Opening was a bit noisy so I wrapped the ends of the locking bars with some electrical tape and greased the linkage pi...

I did my research and found that this was a great way to store my rifles for the price. I also read from other buyers that their item had been damaged in shipping but I got to say they have fix that issue my item was packaged very well and was received in great condition.

I like this cabinet. It looks a lot like a breaker box, so could be used in the open or hidden behind a door, painting, or in a closet. My package arrived without any damage, but I can see how some folks might have received a damaged item since they ship in the manufacturer's box.

This can be mounted upside down so the hinge can be left or right. I have a 10/20 takedown with scope mounted as well as a AR platform 12 inch bbl with AAC silencer 300 blackout in this safe also holds at least one pistol 9mm Sig 226 with tirant silencer and a few magazines for each.

So the space is fair for what looks like a large electric panel. In fact I have electric panel stickers on the door to complete the fakery.As far as locked safety this door can be breached in minutes with a strongbar, so don't think this is a true 'safe'. But it is a locked cabinet with a strong locking system.

This was also mounted on an outside wall.. which means it was mounted on the inside of my home but on a wall which the exterior is subject to outdoor weather. As such I was careful to drill the concrete block and fill with foam insulation as much as possible before covering the block with a vapor barrier (sticky ice and water shield). Did so because I wanted to limit outdoor weather influence on the interior of this safe. Not entirely effective but with dessicant and occasional opening of the door (leaving it open when possible) it keeps the guns room temperature.

Oh and hung a 3x5 'Don't Tread on Me' flag over the safe/electric panel to also allow occasional opening of door without exposure to view.

Used my own screws (Tapcons) into the sidewall studs for better strength (those with safe are cheap steel). Only a minor dent as it came FEDEX which is far better than UPS regarding packag...

As others have written in their reviews the packaging of this item is not suitable for shipping and it needs to be double boxed. My cabinet arrived with all four corners bent, multiple dents in the side and a ding popping through the door from the inside, from loose parts knocking around in there. The box I had received was previously opened, so it may be possible someone else received it damaged- then returned it- then it was re-sold. The reason I can assume this is the extensive amount of damage to the item. The item was shipped UPS so this could also a testament of how badly UPS treats packages.

Cabinet installs fairly easily with the flange large enough to cover imperfect cuts in the drywall. Packaging is lowsy though and I had to straighten out one of the corners that arrived bent. Big enough for a rifle and shotgun and a few rounds of ammunition. I like the fact that it installs without taking up any floor space.
Pros: Value
Cons: Lowsy Packaging
